Simulate DesignMode and Prevent Mouse Clicks from Having an Effect

I have a user control which can be dragged and dropped onto a form in my
application when it is running. I draw a selection border around my control,
and allow it to be dragged to a new location on the form. However, the user
control has a check box on it, and if the user clicks over the checkbox to
drag the control, the check box changes state.

Is there a way that I can simulate the design mode effect of the VS IDE,
such that whilst designing a form controls do not behave in the normal way?
The same problem occurs if clicking over a dropdown list: the list drops
down and then the control can be dragged away from under it. It doesn't look
very good.

TIA

Charles
